You've Won the Powerball!!!

But there's a catch - the terms of the lottery limit you to the purchase of no more than one automobile with any of the lottery proceedings. What is your pick?

Wouldn't even matter. I'm not sure if I'll be building any roads on the island I'll buy.

I will buy a limousine to carry my 91 year old Mom wherever she wants to go for the times when my wife and I are not available to do it ourselves. You can bet that limo will be a Benz.

Ultima Evolution Coupe

Ultima Sports Ltd

Based on the GTR.

Ultima Sports Ltd - Links

Ultima Sports Ltd - The Sensational Ultima GTR

It's only slightly slower to 150mph than my GTO is to 60mph. And it turns and stops, which my 3700lb GTO struggles with.

It's also a kit car, no need to buy it all at once, just bits and pieces as you build. I've got shop space now, first step on the journey.

I should buy a car that I could never buy otherwise. I think I'd buy a Duesenberg Model J.

So in addition to not being able to keep buying vehicles, do I also have to surrender my fleet?

I take it to mean that you can only buy one vehicle with the money, but are allowed to keep your other vehicles/buy others with other money.

Hey INSIDIOUS, do you know what gear I should use in a Duesie J on an uphill?

ha! loophole.

I didn't read any limit on how many of the one automobile. Since ive wasted money on this before, likely I would probably buy endless 123s and fix them up right, rotating them back into the world when I tire of that specific car

I think it would be necessary to own one of every factory color and option for at least a few weeks

Would depend on your approach speed, the particular hill and your load

I go with a G65, perfect for around town and off road hunting and fishing.

The most expensive one Overfinch will sell me with H&H shotguns and a bar.

Since I'd have $900m it would be traded in every 6-12 months.

And yes I would be that guy hunting with a $60k H&H, why not.
